When you are on the way to the King, you will be unfriendly to all the NPCs in Stormwind. They will say things when you pass such as "Monster!" and "I lost my family to to Scourge!" They will also throw rotten food and spit at you. You gain 6000 Stormwind reputation when you talk to the King.

Overall a very interesting quest.

Where Bad Grammer's Are

Note: I posted this when the name was still "Where King's Walk." Fortunately, Blizzard fixed the spelling.

Comment by Drakonis7

Err..when we have the reputation with Stormwind, do we start with all the known Flightpaths, or must we start from zero?

For the rest, I've followed the entire quest chain now via wowhead, and... I'm really planning to make a DK afterall. First, i was hesistant, cause of the fighting mechanics, but the quests alone are more than worth it :D

Comment by chilargar

my guess drakonis is u start with zilch FP's....

Comment by Cantras

For the curious: If you take the tram to Ironforge, Yes, ironforge is friendly to you. You actually start out friendly with all alliance factions, despite the way SW treats you.

I did not try to go down to Westfall to see if it's all SW-aligned NPCs that are like this.

Comment by Kharantar

Quest solved , in the end u reach honored , the "unfriendly" is only a part of storyline , the 6000 honor let you reach honored as you started a normal char that start friendly

If you need to do this then hope that the horde haven't decided (and succeeded) to kill him. Otherwise it's gonna be a wait. If anyone knows his respawn timer that would be great, but I waited at least 20 or 30 minutes and nothing (he was dead and all were gone before I even got there, so who knows how long it had been prior to it).

Comment by caver42

He is in the Keep.

Comment by Gregor

Well... Kingis in the Keep, but as a corpse only (killed by the horde, apparently).He respawned about an hour (!) later, but then a horde reappeared and killed him again. :(

Comment by Arlong

Currently, in 3.0.3, there's a bug where if you enter a barber's shop and get a haircut (or at least enter the hair-changing menu) all the npc's will return to friendly, you can mount again and you won't get egged even if you haven't talked to Varian yet.

I might have missed some but if i did, post them under mine. Dont Downrate!

Comment by karoni

He's in the Stormwind Keep.

Comment by barda24

I for one is a little bit %^&*ed. I meen before I completed this quest, I wasnt allowed to mount up on my Deathcharger in Stormwind, but a couple of days ago, I saw a Death Knight comming straight from the Scarlet Enclave, and the NPCs were making nasty remarks to him, and throwing food, but he was allowed to mount up!

Comment by dreadblood

they changed that for some reason

Comment by killmurlocs

Something 2 note the reason why npcs outside of elwynn r friendly is because of flight paths but it seems like a flight from lakeshire 2 IF is 23 silver must be because the FP cost calc in game thinks that the flight is from ebon hold

Where Eagles Dare?

Comment by miluc

Can anybody confirm that the portal to sw only stays on for the quest? After that when you use death gate to Ebon Hold, you do not have a portal to SW.

Comment by JonTargaryen

If Varian or Thrall are dead, go do some other quests and come back in a few hours. NPCs in other cities of your faction (other than Stormwind/Orgrimmar) will still be friendly to you. Theoretically you can even turn in this quest at level 80. The only major disadvantage is that you cannot reset your talents until this quest is done.

So if your faction leader is dead, don't fret and don't just stand stand around waiting impatiently. Just go level in Outland for a few hours until he respawns.

Comment by DrPwnage

to kill time you should go to these portals they will send you straight to the dark portalHorde: Orgrimmar (Valley Of Spirts) look for a hut that`s double storied and then go tothe top and you should find a portal

Alliance: Stormwind (The Mage Quarter) Look for a tower then follow it when you reach the top you should seea portal to the dark portal

Comment by TehOracle

Before this quest is completed.Stormwind city is the only faction you are unfriendly with.If you are a human this may be a bad thing, but with my Draenei. I still have my mounts and auction houses.

EDITAlso Stormwind would appear to be unfriendly wthin it's immediate region onlyElwynn ForestStormwind CityNPC's within Stormwind that are not of the Stormwind faction like in Dwarven District while still pelting you still fully work. Including repairs and vendors.

Comment by DemoraX

i was going to try to keep this quest, but since all of the pvp vendors are in SW (and the xp cap person if you want to twink)the negatives outway the positives :(

Comment by Valentyne72

What exactly would happen if you never turned this quest in?

Comment by JRSpaniel

All I want to know is where all of this rotten fruit comes from. Do the guards just pack rotten fruit for their lunch or something?

Comment by kykuky

Unluckily for me, when i went to Stormwind to turn in the quest, The king was dead. So much fun waiting for him to spawn while getting insults from guards.(Sarcasm)

Comment by Reignac

Lore-wise, Thassarian was the one who gave Varian Tirion's letter, as seen in the "Death Knight" manga.

Comment by Avydiann

so, my question is, after completing Where Kings Walk, what next? Are we supposed to just explore or is there more to it?

Comment by Ballybog

Kind of a silly "tradition" of mine - when a new DK enter's Stormwind when I'm there, I quickly mount up and head to the keep and wait for them, and /clap and /cheer them after they've ran the gauntlet of insults and rotten produce.

Gaining access to Deepholm has issues as well, apparently. Though the quests there are completable, you will require a warlock summon or Potion of Deepholm. This is likely due to the Waters of Farseeing not being accessible due to your character being silenced in all of Elwynn Forest and Stormwind.

All The King's Command requires is that you set foot in SW keep, not to talk to anyone. The cutscene plays normally, and the follow-up with Rell Nightwind is unimpeded because he is not flagged hostile.

Runeforging is possible, though difficult at lower levels due to Patchwerk and his cadre occupying a level of Archerus. Retalenting or dual-speccing are not, so whatever spec is chosen is final. Guild vendors are available at cities other than Stormwind.

MoP is unaffected by this, therefore, L90 is obtainable.

Comment by Yogilaw

Alliance: Don't waste time taking the quest from the King to go to 3 Towers for instructions (low level 15 rubbish). Instead head to the Mage Qtr & take a portal to Blasted Lands & either level up some more or enter Outland via Dark Portal.Personally I always like to have flight ability in Outland, so get up to lvl60 first in Blasted Lands & surrounding regions prior to zipping thru the portal.

Comment by Snake387

Very funny when as the guards shout at you people do what they do on trade. And also, to continue, go to the Trade District where the Hero's Call board is and get the Outland quest from there. Don't waste time with the Redbridge quest.

Comment by Mormolyce

So like, 30 levels, 2 expansions, a gazillion quests, VP, JP, Honor, Conquest and raid bosses later... does anyone remember the reason we joined the Alliance was just to find allies for Mograine?
